design a life you love
Nestled in the San Bernadino mountains near Lake Arrowhead, the cabin tour that I am sharing with you today is a mere hour and a half outside of Los Angeles, yet it feels like a completely different world. Built in 1941, the cabin has since been completely remodeled, offering a dose of low key, streamlined elegance. I can safely say that, after living in LA for four years, this space is just what one needs to escape the hustle and bustle of the city.
Today’s lovely Mediterranean-style home tour comes to us from the very talented Homepolish designer, Rosa Beltran. When Rosa first encountered this sprawling Altadena, California property, it was in need of a major overhaul. It was full of outdated faux Mediterranean fixtures from the 90s along with some truly special touches…think shag carpet in the bathroom. Under Rosa’s guidance, the home underwent a complete makeover from the outside in. The end result infuses modern design with bohemian touches, offering a soothing neutral palette full of rich global textures and details.
I am keeping my home tours local for the second month in a row and, after taking a look at this gorgeous light filled Orange County home, I think you will understand why. The family that calls this bright and open space home purchased the house under much different conditions. Originally dark and closed off, the owners turned to designer Lindye Galloway for guidance. Galloway, a talented OC based designer, began by opening up the homes cramped spaces to let natural light flood in. She then turned her focus to decor, adding farmhouse details and soft metallic touches throughout the home. The stunning end result manages to channel a beachy bohemian vibe while still maintaining a rustic sophistication.
